FPC connectors are usually referred to as "flexible printed circuit board" connectors. It plays a very important role in electronic equipment:

Definition and function:

Definition: FPC connector is used to connect electronic components of flexible printed circuit board (FPC) or flexible flat cable (FFC). Flexible printed circuit board is a kind of flexible thin plastic board with circuit diagram printed on it.

Function: The main function of FPC connector is to provide a reliable, stable and flexible connection mode to connect the flexible printed circuit board with other electronic components or circuit boards. This connection mode not only saves space, but also can meet different design and layout requirements.

Application:

FPC connectors are widely used in various electronic products, especially those with limited space or design requirements that the equipment is bent or folded to some extent. Common applications include smartphones, tablets, laptops, cameras and various wearable devices.

Advantages:

Flexibility and reliability: Due to the bending characteristics of FPC, FPC connectors allow different forms of circuit layout in a limited space, and ensure the reliability of connection.

Light weight and small size: Because of its light and compact design, this connector is especially popular in modern portable electronic products.

Anti-seismic and impact performance: FPC connector shows better performance in vibration and impact environment because of its flexibility.

Insufficient:

Compared with traditional hard circuit board connectors, FPC connectors may be less durable and stable in some extreme environments.

To sum up, FPC connector is one of the indispensable components of modern electronic equipment, especially in the case of light and compact design requirements and certain bending or folding ability.
